Do the 18th Edition courses include Amendment 4 updates?

Our 18th Edition courses (Amendment 4) reflects the latest updates to the IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671:2018+A4:2026. It is designed to ensure learners are working in line with current industry requirements and modern electrical installation practices.

The latest amendment introduces updated requirements across key areas of electrical installation work, including improved guidance on protection, inspection and testing, and the integration of modern technologies such as electric vehicle charging, solar PV, and battery storage systems. These updates ensure installations remain safe, efficient, and compliant with current industry expectations.

Courses are updated in line with changes to BS 7671 as they are released, ensuring learners are always trained in the most current regulations and best practice standards used across the electrical industry.

Our BS 7671 Amendment 4 (2026) guide outlines everything electricians need to know.

When will the 19th edition wiring regulations be released?

The IET has not announced any plans or dates for the 19th edition. The latest update is the 18th Edition Amendment 4, published in 2026.

We strongly advise learners not to delay taking a City & Guilds 2382 course. Staying up-to-date with the current standards ensures compliance and safety. While the 19th edition may eventually follow, the 18th edition remains the industry standard, and completing your qualification now keeps your skills and certification current.

Can I do the 18th Edition course online?

We previously offered an online version of our 18th Edition course, but after reviewing learner feedback and outcomes, we decided that classroom delivery provides the best learning experience for this subject.

The Wiring Regulations are a technical subject where the ability to ask questions, discuss practical examples and learn from an experienced tutor is extremely valuable. Our classroom-based full or update courses give you dedicated time to understand the latest changes, see how they apply to real-world installations, and prepare confidently for the City & Guilds 2382-26 examination.
